< Job 25 >
1 Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said: —
Allora Bildad di Suach rispose e disse:
2 Dominion and dread, are with him, who causeth prosperity among his lofty ones;
“A Dio appartiene il dominio e il terrore: egli fa regnare la pace ne’ suoi luoghi altissimi.
3 Is there any number to his troops? And upon whom ariseth not his light?
Le sue legioni si posson forse contare? Su chi non si leva la sua luce?
4 How then shall, a mortal, be just with GOD? Or how shall he be pure who is born of a woman?
Come può dunque l’uomo esser giusto dinanzi a Dio? Come può esser puro il nato dalla donna?
5 Look as far as the moon, and it is not clear, and, the stars, are not bright in his eyes!
Ecco, la luna stessa manca di chiarore, e le stelle non son pure agli occhi di lui;
6 How much less a mortal who is a creeping thing? Or a son of the earth-born who is a worm?
quanto meno l’uomo, ch’è un verme, il figliuol d’uomo ch’è un vermicciuolo!”
